“…Men diagnosed with prostate cancer had an increased risk of a subsequent diagnosis of CRC (All CRC: HR = 1.14; 95% CI: 1.02–1.27; Rectal Cancer: HR = 1.36; 95% CI: 1.09–1.71). The treatment of prostate cancer with radiation was associated with an increased risk for rectal cancer (HR = 2.06; 95% CI: 1.42–2.99) in comparison with those not treated with radiation [36, 37].…”

According to GLOBOCAN 2018 data, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most deadly and fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world. Nearly 2 million new cases and about 1 million deaths are expected in 2018. CRC incidence has been steadily rising worldwide, especially in developing countries that are adopting the “western” way of life. Obesity, sedentary lifestyle, red meat consumption, alcohol, and tobacco are considered the driving factors behind the growth of CRC. However, recent advances in early detection screenings and treatment options have reduced CRC mortality in developed nations, even in the face of growing incidence. Genetic testing and better family history documentation can enable those with a hereditary predisposition for the neoplasm to take preventive measures. Meanwhile, the general population can reduce their risk by lowering their red meat, alcohol, and tobacco consumption and raising their consumption of fibre, wholesome foods, and certain vitamins and minerals.

“…3 SA is mainly pathogenic due to the production of intermedilysin, which is an exotoxin produced by the organism and become more pathogenic with mucosal breakage as with trauma or surgery. 6,3 SA bacteremia however, usually originates from the oral cavity or gastrointestinal tract when mucosal integrity is breached. 7 There are many potentially fatal complications of SA bacteremia that include endocarditis, cardiac abscesses, meningitis, septic arthritis and abdominal abscesses.…”

Streptococcus anginosus bacteremia: a septic IVC thrombus and a large empyema requiring decortication

et al. 2021

A previously healthy 39 year old male presented with complaints of cough, fever, abdominal pain and chills. The patient was found to be in active sepsis with hypotension on presentation so was resuscitated while a full septic work-up was ordered. Initial chest X-ray showed only increased broncho-alveolar markings and no consolidations, but blood cultures eventually revealed Streptococcus anginosus bacteremia. Intravenous antibiotics were started and infective endocarditis was ruled out. Computerized tomography scan of the abdomen with contrast revealed findings suggestive of a septic hepatic inferior vena cava thrombus and right lower lung findings suggestive of septic embolization and an empyema. Later on during admission, CT scan of the chest with contrast revealed a moderate-sized empyema of the right lung which eventually required decortication. Discovering such findings concurrently in a single patient is extremely rare, particularly an embolizing septic IVC thrombus with confirmed bacteremia. For this reason it is described in the following case presentation

Barrett's oesophagus is a condition characterised by metaplastic changes in the oesophagus and is a precursor to oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Oesophageal adenocarcinoma is recognised as being responsible for an increasing number of cancerrelated deaths, especially in the western world. A deluge of risk factors have been described in the literature. Some of the important ones include gastroesophageal reflux disease, Helicobacter pylori infection, lifestyle factors like alcohol consumption, smoking, and dietary factors, and metabolic diseases like obesity. It also poses challenges in diagnosis and treatment despite recent advances in diagnostics, surgery, and other therapies. This is a narrative review of the findings of multiple studies that were retrieved from electronic databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane. We summarise the current knowledge regarding the epidemiology and various risk factors for the development of Barrett's oesophagus and oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Streszczenie Przełyk Barretta charakteryzuje się występowaniem zmian metaplastycznych w przełyku i jest stanem przedrakowym przełyku. Gruczolakorak przełyku odpowiada za coraz większą liczbę zgonów z powodu raka, zwłaszcza na Zachodzie. W piśmiennictwie wskazano wiele czynników ryzyka. Do najważniejszych z nich należą: choroba refluksowa przełyku, zakażenie Helicobacter pylori, czynniki związane ze stylem życia, takie jak spożywanie alkoholu, palenie tytoniu i czynniki żywieniowe, oraz choroby metaboliczne, takie jak otyłość. Schorzenie to stwarza problemy w zakresie diagnostyki i leczenia pomimo dokonanych ostatnio postępów w dziedzinie diagnostyki, leczenia operacyjnego i innych terapii. W artykule przedstawiono przegląd wyników wielu badań, które pobrano z elektronicznych baz danych, takich jak PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Medline, Embase i Cochrane. Podsumowano także aktualną wiedzę na temat epidemiologii i czynników ryzyka rozwoju przełyku Barretta i gruczolakoraka przełyku.
